In the Sahara, one of the most effective cooling systems belongs to an ant. The Saharan silver ant, Cataglyphis bombycina, survives in an environment where ground temperatures can become extreme. Its silver appearance is not simply colour. Under a microscope, much of the ant's body is covered in dense, triangular hairs. Research has shown that these structures help manage heat in two ways: they reflect incoming solar radiation and improve the body's ability to release thermal
